For Fans

Deb’s Bookshelf

Many readers ask me about my favorite books. Sadly, now that I’m so busy writing I have less time for reading. But here are some recommended titles–old and new–that may be of interest to fans of the All Souls trilogy.

Historical Fiction

If you like historical fiction, try:

Dorothy Dunnett’s six-volume Crawford of Lymond series, starting with The Game of Kings

Dorothy Dunnett’s eight-volume House of Niccolò series, starting with Niccolò Rising (note: the action takes place BEFORE the Crawford of Lymond Series, but it is a prequel and should be read after)

Iain Pears’s The Instance of the Fingerpost

Mysteries

If you like book mysteries, try:

A. S. Byatt’s Possession

Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose

If you like mysteries with great female protagonists, try:

Deborah Crombie’s Duncan Kincaid and Gemma James series, starting with A Share in Death
